Non-voting contributor profile: Miguel Rojas

This month, in place of our usual member profile, we are featuring a story about the husband of one of our members, Suzanna Gonzales Rojas, who passed away in July 2021. Miguel Rojas has chosen to honor his wife by becoming a non-voting contributor to our grant pool this year.

“Suzie told me that your organization has a magnificent goal: to help people with your grants,” he said. “You have a great social conscience. I decided to give the membership because I wanted Suzie’s contribution to continue through me, in honor of her.”

Mr. Rojas said he saw the results of one High Impact Grant when he went to an Impact San Antonio event at the Government Canyon State Natural Area last year. The grant helped fund the construction of an amphitheater where educational programs are being held.

“We talked with the park rangers about what they were trying to do there. You can help people a lot with $100,000,” he said.

Mr. Rojas said he plans to continue his contribution in future years because of his admiration for Impact SA and the work it does in our community, and to honor his wife’s memory.

“You have a great social conscience. I’m very proud of all of you,” he said. “You care about the city and about the people living here. Life is not fair for everybody, and the work you do is a way of helping with that.”
